>>problem is they rarely decide

fish.mike - in what quarters of what games have you been unhappy with the Knicks effort?

from our veteran's? Its not exclusive to any quarter. Same guys repeatedly have the same problems. I'm not excited about one win over the Wizards. Its more likely they just had a bad shooting day.

As a team we still dont fight over screens.
Crawford would still rather shake and bake for a 20 footer than attack the paint.
Curry watches rebounds... litteraly. Killa's friend Ron and I were dying watching Curry on the boards. More often than not he wouldnt even jump and make and attempt, and he's really good at ripping the ball down when he's all alone.
Francis is lost, and when things dont go his way he starts to float and gets yanked.
Frye often fights for good post position, calls for the ball, and Franbury either ignores him or just cant make that entry pass. After some of that Frye becomes content to float around the perimeter.

Right now the guys that are playing hard and effectively in all facets of the game are Nate, Lee, Q and Balkman. Balkman's shot had been pretty bad before the Wiz game... hopefully its a sign of things to come.

The problem is as a TEAM we still dont give max effort and play hard. You cant have 3 guys playing hard and 3 loafing. It doesnt work and we still have that with most of Isiah's veteran aquisitions.

This should all be fixed by Jerome's return however.
